Another jailed Cuban journalist declared a hunger strike on Wednesday, Nov. 14, to protest the conditions and over-population at the prison he was recently transfered to, according to the website Café Fuerte.

The International Press Institute urged President Raúl Castro to consider reforming the defamation laws in Cuba to bring them into alignment with international standards and appealed for the release of journalists who had done nothing more than "report on subjects in the public interest."
